Spectrum

Spectrum is the UK collection management standard that is also used around the world. Here you can browse the interactive web version of Spectrum 5.0. For help on how to download PDFs of individual procedures, see the frequently-asked questions page.

Spectrum is free to download and use non-commercially; all we ask is that you agree to our licensing conditions.

Spectrum is not software (and can be used with paper-based systems) but many of our commercial Spectrum Partners have developed collection management systems that support some or all of the Spectrum procedures. We have validated some of these as Spectrum Compliant.
